Lionel Messi au Camp Nou
Lionel Messi made his return to Camp Nou this Sunday. In a surprising twist, the Argentine legend decided not to notify anyone—not even club president Joan Laporta.
On social media, Leo Messi’s visit to Spotify Camp Nou caught everyone at Barça completely off guard. The Inter Miami striker stopped by the stadium, taking advantage of his time in Spain while preparing for a friendly match with Argentina.
According to information from Sport, no one in the club had been informed: not the executives, not the staff, not even Joan Laporta himself. The alert came straight from social media when Messi posted photos of his visit on Instagram. The reigning World Champion’s surprise appearance sparked a wave of astonishment and questions within the Blaugrana institution.

The club has launched an investigation to find out how Messi managed to access Camp Nou and who may have helped him enter without anyone knowing. However, sources close to the player say Messi had made no prior arrangements with the club—this was a personal, entirely spontaneous initiative. The situation has created a real mystery around this nighttime return, especially since the stadium had been closed to the public until Friday, November 7, when it reopened for an open training session, with access remaining strictly controlled.
